Kalib Starnes beats Tim Hague at HW

"Despite the weight change, Kalib Starnes worked his way to a 30-27 (unanimous) decision win over fellow UFC vet Tim Hague. He put on a Fight of the Night runner-up performance, nearly knocking out Tim Hague on four separate occasions. Throwing multiple flying head kicks, Capoeira kicks, amazing boxing combos, and not taking the fight to the ground at anytime; He showed that he was more than just a BJJ Fighter."

When I first heard he was fighting at heavyweight I laughed, but after reading he won and wasn't running for the whole fight, it made me think a little bit. I'm from B.C. and was a huge fan of this guy up until the running man incident. Is Starnes still one of the most hated guy's in MMA? Pretty much everyone in Canada let alone B.C. was rooting for him, and especially people from B.C. felt he gave us a little bit of a black eye. I lost most of my hate for him seeing as it's been awhile.

Would any of you pay attention if he fought in Bellator(they have taken shittier fighters) or WSOF(doubt they'd take him)

I'm pretty surprised Starnes was able to beat up Hague, but I don't any major promotion has any interest in him considering that fight and his current age.

Neither guy has a real shot of making it back to the UFC. But, string a few wins together and it ole Kalib might find a way to WSOF. Say what you will about either guy, but they each have a couple quality wins.

indeed, before the Quarry fight Starnes had a fight of the night performance with Leben, which he won the fight.
